[QUOTE="2Slow, post: 1919760, member: 12753"] I work at 81st street. You'll have never seen anything like our yard around 8pm and again around midnight. Go slow, wait your turn, and don't tear anything up! 1) We have 4 big Amazon warehouses in addition to being in the 15 largest cities in America, they will be diverting loads out of Indy. There will be work. 2 and 3) Yep. Juanna told you accurately. The most certain way to get on is to get into delivery at the 81st street building, then you will get a chance to qualify for Feeders so long as you stay out of accidents over there. There are no speed bonuses here, have a good attitude, shave, and don't tear anything up. We've had a rash of accidents lately, our division manager is about to jump off the roof, if you look dangerous you have no chance. 4) Most of our tractors are 10 speeds, but we have a few new autos. Kenworths, Macks, and some Volvos we've borrowed from freight. 5) We run 100% legit. I've seen guys out of hours picked up from 3 miles away. DO NOT EVER FALSIFY ANY DOCUMENTS, EVER. 6) You will be expected to do a thorough pre and post trip. We learn to do it without getting rookie stripes (grease on uniform) Make sure you have a 5th Wheel puller. Use an underhand grip to release dolly. 7) Your week involves a lot of classroom, hooking doubles, pre trip, driving around. 8) Do it the UPS way. I won't lie, getting on is not going to be easy. We have hired 140 drivers in the last 5 years, it's slowing down. We're holding them to the 6 and 1 ratio. We want them to offer Feeders to the other 2 Indy buildings. Good luck [/QUOTE]
